Any Wusses in the Room?

A few months ago, I had finally found this place where everything isn't about sex and stupidities. However, I haven't been on here in a long while because of unforseen interruptions. Now what I see is that you are all feeding on each other's negativity. Please don't give up! You can get it back! There's no place like this place and it's because of the chemistry you all have with each other. I wanted to be a part of that and I still do. Maybe you all could just try a little harder to find more interesting questions instead of waiting for the others to come up with them. I really hope you guys don't abandon each other...or me!

Update:

I guess I used a stronger description of what I saw on the question, "What is happening"? Instead of negativity I should've used decention or something like that. I used "wusses" to catch your attention, I didn't mean to put you on the defensive, sorry. Maybe if you read the comments on that Question, you'd get what I meant.

Update 2:

I meant dissension.

    LOL. . Yes, I will honestly admit to being a Wuss ! No offense taken here Tink. You mentioned not being around lately, so let me answer your question this way. . . A wuss according to the dictionary is a weakling, a chicken, a wimp, someone who is afraid. . . One thing that makes me afraid is being expelled from Yahoo Answers . . . I love this site !. The rules state that after so many violations (no amount given) your account will be deleted, and you will loose the privilege of being a Yahoo member. These violations come from questions and answers that are considered "chatting" etc. and just last month I received 9 of them. Half were appealed and reinstated. You will notice that some of the regulars are gone, or possibly under a new name. A lot are just reading and not participating due to the amount of violations being given. So, using this criteria, yes, I am a wuss. . . I now try to answer carefully because of all the hoopla !

    I must have missed something. This is still a good place but the only mention I heard anything about was a question asked about why there was so few in here anymore.

    With the elections going on, I think some have concentrated on those rooms or since there seems to be a lot of nastiness in the Political stuff, maybe some folks are backing off and taking a breather.

    In the year and a half I've been on here, many folks have come and gone. Maybe it's a little boring or folks are busy "winterizing".

    Course us older folks still say something about sex occasionally but we couch it in cutesy terms. It's only fun to talk about it if we know some young person some where is grossed out about it.

    they're. they are going to the two positioned on their "i'm a great troublesome rottweiler" bark in the event that they pay attention all and sundry outdoors, yet that's finished on an identical time as they're cowering around the main appropriate of the stairs. Amy basically has to pay attention the wind howling and he or she's hiding under the mattress. in spite of the undeniable fact that in the event that they're on the sector and a canine starts barking or seems to be getting slightly aggressive, Amy will stand between the canine and Milly till it backs off. So she's no longer a wuss whilst it includes protecting her little sister, kinda candy, lol.

    I wuss in this room, till I went to the fridge for a bottle of 'bollie', so I guess I'm a wusses, but I couldn't be answering the question if I wasn't back again. So I suppose now I'm an isses. Isses Wusses does it really matter? I'm more interested in whether all these peeps who have their photo thingies like pretty cartoon characters are really as young as they're making out?

    Sorry my finger froze on the Submit Button - I cannot tell a lie. I didn't go to the fridge - I went to put the kettle on for a cup of tea.

    Not wusses, just those who have learned to be wary and cautious.

    Look at the thumbs down already....there's part of your answer. And as JJ explained, even the most interesting and thought provoking questions get reported and removed.

    So it has nothing to do with dissension. Just the reporters getting what they want....frustration.

    I get what you mean! I like to come to this site because you can be yourself and don't have to play games. I think once the election is over here in the States people will be more like themselves. It has caused so many people to mean and negative that is spills over to other categories.

    No wusses here! Haven't you heard? Old age ain't for sissies. Please hang around and contribute often. You don't have to be old but it is appreciated if you will mind your manners. Our group gets very small on some days. It's the best section of Yahoo Answers because most everyone here can think, spell and form complete sentences. Not much trash to wade through.

    Good luck and my best wishes to you.

    The wording of your question itself, may cause some to go on the defensive. As for me, I am neither a "wuss" nor am I feeding off anyone's negativity. Judging all by what a few, in your opinion, may be doing, is very unfair of you.

    edit: Thanks for the "thumbs down." It's what I expected.

    This is still a great place to be. Many are just being very careful in the wording of questions and answers.

    I hear ya!! I was off for a few weeks because of back surgery!! My first question was about the surgery wanting other peoples feedback as to what to expect......got deleted!! Ask another question wondering how people took Arnold's remarks about Obama's skinny legs.....got deleted!! But when an old man has more that 23 TD's you don't have to guess who reported it!! So, when I ask a question I expect it to get deleted but I do get to read the answers and that's what I wanted anyway......heck with the points!!!

    Source(s): I don't hardly recognize anyone due to changed avatars because of the trolls!
